“Concerning His Son Jesus Christ” Romans 1:3

Someone recently asked me to summarise the Epistle to the Romans in one short phrase. My response was that it is essentially a proclamation of ‘The gospel of God … concering his Son Jesus Christ our Lord’ (Romans 1:1,3).

There is a great need in this day and age when there is undoubtedly a ‘famine of the word of God’ for that gospel which Paul sets forth in doctrinal terms in his epistle to the Romans to be widely declared, preached, proclaimed and expounded – both boldly and clearly.

This website exists, therefore, to present truths from the gospel of God as set forth in the epistle to the Romans. Of course the same gospel is to be found in every book of the Bible – its message is the same throughout. However the epistle to the Romans has always particularly stood out as a majestic doctrinal summary of the gospel of Christ in its various parts. Therefore the concentration of this website is upon those truths of the gospel as clearly declared in this glorious epistle.

Having written a number of articles on various passages in Romans over the past few years I thought it worthwhile to gather them together and present them in one place. This website is the result.

Articles are presented on the Home page in the order of posting (which won’t necessarily follow the order of the chapters in Romans upon which they are based). However, categories are also presented on the right side of each page, which include the chapters in Romans for which articles exist. These categories allow easy navigation of the articles based on either subject, or chapter.

May the Lord be pleased to use it for the good of His people and for the glory of His precious Name.

WHAT is the Gospel of God? This is the question which this new title sets out to answer, by considering that gospel as declared in Paul’s Epistle to the Romans.

The gospel is an objective, definitive message setting forth the Person and the Work of Christ. It encompasses all God’s truth regarding Him and His salvation. It is the message of God’s word, the Bible. It concerns God and man, good and evil, life and death, time and eternity, heaven and hell. Is any question more important than how we stand in relation to the Gospel of Christ? How is it with your soul? Is Christ – the Son of God – your Saviour? Do you love His gospel, His message of salvation?

Paul says of that gospel in Romans 1:16: “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth”.

Yet to the natural man the gospel is offensive. 1 Corinthians 1 clearly tells us that. But it is also man’s greatest need – he is lost in sin and needs a Saviour. How vital in this day is the preaching of this message. To that end, the intent of this book is to present truth from the Gospel of God in its various parts, and the sum of those parts, as found in the Epistle to the Romans. It does not seek to be a verse-by-verse commentary, but rather to consider the vital aspects of the truth as set forth in this, surely one of the most glorious of all epistles.

Available in both hardback and paperback editions and covering all 16 chapters of Romans, this 360 page exposition and presentation of the gospel is divided into the following seven sections:

THE WORD OF FAITH – THE WANT OF FAITH – THE ENTRANCE OF FAITH – THE FIGHT OF FAITH – THE PEOPLE OF FAITH – THE LIFE OF FAITH

And, THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED.
